The respect for fundamental human rights and
freedom we all know is one of the paramount benefits of any democratic state.
Out of many allegations of this human rights violations includes non-payment of
workers which has been found to be prominent among high ranking Nigerian
politicians of which senator Godswill Akpabio is an exemplary case as he uses
his political power to infringe and violate human right of citizens.

According to a document obtained by this
online news medium, one Chisom Amanda Eze is demanding a payment of N3,000,000
(three million Naira) from the former Senate Minority leader through her
lawyers for a Public Relation Service contract which was supposedly awarded to
her firm Torchblaze media concept on the
26th of February, 2016 by the aforementioned senator, with the contract aimed
at the creation and managing of the senator’s social media account.

The contract was legally sealed and signed
under oath with the Senator’s agreement
through his media Aide Anietie Ekong, to ensure prompt payment of the contract
money was agreed upon by both parties, however, the senator like a crafty fox
in his bid to play the company Director’s Intelligence failed to meet up with
the proposed agreement as he cunningly cut off all possible communication link
from her immediately the social media page was confirmed up and running.

The media aide to the senator, Ekong, when
notified by Chisom of the new development, assured her that the signed contract
has been duly submitted with the only thing hindering the payment being an
order from the boss.

After one year of running the page with no
word from the senator and his aide concerning payment for her rendered
services, the Director decided to take matters into her own hands by taking the
case to court.

The senator’s media aide On the other hand, in trying to sweet-talk the company’s director into cancelling any form of litigation on the matter simultaneously got the social media account verified without her consent as her administrative right to the page was stripped off with various death threats for going public.

Regrettably, the letter from the solicitor
representing the company dated 28th of December, 2018 demanding for their
payment from the ‘uncommon debtor’ met a brick wall even after the senator’s
reassurance to reach an amicable resolution with the Director. In a second
letter which was also submitted on the 12th of January, the legal firm also
reiterated on their demand for payment on the company’s behalf as no statement
was heard from the senator regarding the matter till this very moment.
